“International research shows that Iceland’s image today is more of a country brand than a nation brand. The rise in Icelandic tourism has done a good job of communicating the natural attributes of the island around the world, but the character of Iceland’s population remains largely unknown except to its nearest neighbours.” Simon Anholt

HVER ER SNILLI ÍSLANDS?

• People with both ice and fire in their souls.

• Icelanders combine a very Nordic love of order, efficiency, fairness and competence, with a flair, warmth, informality and passion that are distinctly Mediterranean.

• This Latino-Nordic quality of the Icelander is the secret of most of Iceland’s recent successes and, I am convinced, the key to its future prominence.

• This could be the motto of the Icelander: it sounds crazy, but it might just work.

Final words

• The sign on the door of planet Earth during this age of global competition should be the one that reads “You don’t have to be crazy to work here, but it helps”.

• In a workplace like that, I’ll put my money on the Icelanders to get to the top.
